For all their hutzpah going forward, Frank Lampard's side have conceded as many goals as 15th place Brighton in the Premier League this season. Rice was released by Chelsea as a 14-year-old and has since gone on to establish himself as a regular in the heart of midfield for club and country. Rice...

After three months without football, teams and players could be forgiven for being a little rusty. But while certain sides and individuals have stumbled out of the starting blocks, Manchester City's Phil Foden is already tearing down the home straight. The 20-year-old has begun restart in irresistible form, piecing together the flashes of quality City fans had been treated to at an increasing rate prior to lockdown into complete, mature performances.

News Champions League hopefuls Chelsea host struggling Watford at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening in the Premier League, with Frank Lampard looking for a response after his side's defeat to West Ham on Wednesday. The Blues are still fourth, having missed the chance to go third, and are just two points ahead of the chasing pack, led by Manchester United and Wolves.

West Ham's victory over Chelsea at the London Stadium is a massive result for the club, make no mistake about it. After being denied by VAR (again), the Hammers fought back from a goal down - something they've failed to do all season - to pick up a huge three points, taking advantage of further defeats for relegation rivals Watford, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Buy the new West Ham home kit from £55 on the club's store. But despite the euphoria of doing the double over Frank Lampard, a figure...

Goals from Mattia Valoti and Sergio Floccari had SPAL two up within half an hour, but Marco D'Alessandro's sending off was the catalyst for a Milan fightback - albeit a limp one - to earn a share of the spoils. Rafael Leao was the man to get Milan back into the game with just over ten minutes remaining, before Vicari's own...

Bayern Munich's David Alaba is on Manchester City's shopping list, as the club plot a substantial rebuild in the summer. Pep Guardiola's side's title defence was as good as over by November as Liverpool cruised to the Premier League crown and, having lost a selection of first-team regulars, a major overhaul is on the cards in the transfer window. Vincent Kompany departed at the end of the 2018/19 season, with David Silva poised to follow suit this summer. Leroy Sane is on the cusp of joining...

Manchester City are targeting Bayern Munich's David Alaba as part of their summer rebuild

Chelsea consider Declan Rice as the solution to their problems at centre half

Chelsea don't score enough goals. Their 58 big chances missed is second only to Manchester City's 67 in the Premier League, while their tally of 532 shots is the second-highest in the league as well. To address that, Frank Lampard has already signed Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech - two of Europe's best when it comes to scoring and creating goals respectively. There's even talk of a blockbuster move for Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz, which would, of course, be amazing. He's one of the best young...

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that he wouldn’t swap Giovani Lo Celso for Bruno Fernandes, who Spurs came close to signing before Lo Celso arrived last summer. Lo Celso was a deadline day acquisition for Spurs on loan from Real Betis in August, and has since made the £27m permanent switch to north London. Fernandes, meanwhile, came to the Premier League in January when Manchester United finally agreed a deal with Sporting CP. Spurs were close to signing Bruno Fernandes...

Newell's Old Boys vice president Cristian D'Amico has reiterated that Lionel Messi would be more than welcome to return to the club where he began his career. Messi was part of the Newell's youth system before moving to Barcelona as a 13-year-old. Although he never played a senior game for the Argentinian side, it has often been suggested that Messi will one day return to the club for his final years. In 2019/20 however, Barcelona all but surrendered the league title as they drew 2-2 with...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned Matteo Guendouzi he must alter his behaviour if he is to force his way back into the side. Guendouzi grabbed Neal Maupay around the neck following Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Brighton and, although he faced no further action from the FA, he has not featured for the Gunners since. The midfielder has been left out of the Arsenal squad for their subsequent victories over Southampton, Sheffield United and most recently Norwich on Wednesday evening. Guendouzi...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has claimed that striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is open to signing a new contract at the Emirates Stadium. The Gabon international's current deal expires at the end of next season, but there have been huge doubts over whether he will extend. Aubameyang has proven himself as one of the world's top strikers, but the Gunners currently find themselves well behind in the race for Champions League qualification. ?? ??????? ?????? ????? ??? ??????? 1️⃣ @Aubameyang7 -...

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has bemoaned his side's inability to take yet another chance to climb higher in the Premier League table following Wednesday's 3-2 loss to West Ham United. A victory would have seen the Blues move into third place, ahead of Leicester City after their 2-1 defeat to Everton, but defensive errors and inconsistent finishing allowed Andriy Yarmolenko to fire home an 89th-minute winner and snatch all three points for the Hammers. Full-time. 3-2 to West Ham.#WHUCHE...

Chelsea have not messed about. Wanting to make up for lost time (y'know, that transfer ban stuff) they've dipped their golden fingers into the market twice already with the big-money additions of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. Around 83 million pounds sterling worth, to be slightly more specific. With those additions, the key question to emerge is just how Frank Lampard is going to squeeze them into his starting lineup without heavily disrupting the status quo. ? "So when do Ziyech and Werner...

Win West Ham stunned Chelsea in the Premier League on Wednesday night after coming from a goal down to secure a stunning 3-2 win that significantly boosts their survival hopes. A first 35 minutes passed by without much incident until Tomas Soucek bundled home from a scrappy corner. Sadly for the home side, VAR cut their celebrations short after a lengthy check harshly ruled Antonio to have been offside despite not obviously interfering with play. Salt was rubbed into the wound just moments...

Win Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starred as Arsenal picked up all three points in a dominant 4-0 win over Daniel Farke's Norwich on Wednesday evening to move up to seventh in the Premier League. Both sides came close to an opener early on, with Aubameyang forcing a save from Tim Krul before Canaries centre back Ben Godfrey hit the woodwork from over 30 yards out. Arsenal soon opened the scoring as Krul calamitously gave the ball away to Aubameyang, with the Gabon international slotting into an...

After being the name on everyone's lips in the summer of 2017, Andrea Belotti's big money move to the Premier League never materialised and he's since become somewhat of a forgotten man. Since his stellar 28 goal season for Torino in the 2016/1, however, things have gone slowly downhill for the club. Belotti was rewarded with permanent captaincy for his loyalty to Torino ahead of the following campaign, but that loyalty has since seen his chance of a big move fade away, while his club now face...
